Harry and Meghan should 'sit in tenth row behind Andrew' at Coronation, says Piers Morgan

Piers Morgan has waded in on the decision for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to attend the Coronation of King Charles III in just under two months' time.

The outspoken broadcaster has made it no secret he's not a fan of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and frequently uses his platform to hit out at the couple.

Just days after it was announced they had decided to style their children as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet – despite previously stating they wanted their children to live a normal life, Piers saw the opportunity to make a swipe at the Sussexes.

During a recent episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored on TalkTV, the 57-year-old said of the Coronation: "I'd make them sit in the tenth row, right behind Prince Andrew," before going on to add: "So when the world's cameras get beamed on them, all they see is their little heads peering around Andrew.

"I actually think he [King Charles], shouldn't have invited them, why would you invite a couple of ratbags who've been attacking every member of your family?"

Elsewhere on the programme, Piers questioned why the California-based couple had decided to use titles for their children having previously likened being a member of the House of Windsor to "living in a prison".

The former Mirror editor who never shies away when it comes to saying what's on his mind said: "They kept telling the world how bad the Royal Family is - it's a prison camp and all the royals want to get away from it - but now they want to give their kids titles?

"They don't live anywhere near the Royal Family, they don't do any duties and they live in a mansion in California."

Meanwhile, the Mirror's Associate Editor (Royal) Russell Myers went on to state that the couple "have made an awful lot of money from telling people how bad the Royal Family is," while Piers fumed: "It's rank hypocrisy yet again from these two!"

During his show, the broadcaster sensationally claimed that Meghan had lied when she claimed a member of The Royal Family had made racist comments about her unborn son, Prince Archie.

Reflecting on her bombshell allegations during her Oprah interview, he added: "There was no racism," before the BBC's former Royal Correspondent Micheal Cole added: "No, none at all and that was quite shameful at the time."

"It was a complete lie!" exclaimed a frustrated Piers.
